Gardiner Artwalk –Spring is bursting out all over Gardiner
Water Street Gardiner, Maine
On May 14th, 2010 area artists will once again be showcased in storefronts and studios in Gardiner’s historic downtown for an evening of lively arts. The event is free and open to the public Friday May 14th, from 5:30-8:30pm. The Mayt 14th event is the first of three Artwalks for the 2010 season.
Artwalk Gardiner was formally launched in the fall of 2005 by the Artdogs™ studios and a handful of area artists who exhibited their work to a well attended, appreciative audience. Artwalk Gardiner is a non-juried, member-run organization that accepts artists within a ten-mile radius of downtown Gardiner.
Through regular exhibitions in downtown Gardiner, the Artwalk’s mission is to increase community awareness and appreciation of the visual arts; to encourage interaction with local artists and the public by providing artists with a supportive network that fosters the creative economy.
Artwalk Gardiner has drawn hundreds of people for this event collaborating closely with the local businesses. Nearly a dozen storefronts display twenty or more area artists. To give the community a sneak peek, A1 To Go, a popular downtown eatery, hosts a preview show beginning May7th. Maps will be available at area businesses to match venues to artists.
